Abstract:
In a shift lever device, when a lever is rotate-operated to an “R” position or a “D” position, a cushion of the lever abuts a stopper inside the housing, and the rotating operation of the lever is stopped. Note that when the lever is rotate-operated to the “R” position or the “D” position under a heavy load, a low rigidity plate and a low rigidity tube of the cushion undergo elastic deformation, and the high rigidity column of the cushion is sandwiched between the lever and the stopper. The rotating operation of the lever is thereby restricted. The high rigidity column is thereby able to effectively restrict the rotating operation of the lever.
